Best budget Blackwall Compost Converter £26
Although slowest to compost, it has an exceptionally keen price for size. No assembly required. Black bin made from 100% recycled plastic and green from 70% . Optional base plate to site on hard surfaces.
Best larger bin Modular Wooden Compost Bin £99.99 (cover £22.99)
This is a sturdy, well-designed variation on the ever-popular wooden compost bin. No tools required for assembly. Has access on all sides, is extendable with additional modules and the loose duvet cover provided excellent insulation.
Best for speed and small spaces Hotbin £200
Comes ready assembled. This is an efficient, self-contained design, which results in no mess or smells, and the wasteliquid (leachate) tank can be easily emptied. However, being made from virgin materials means it has a high carbon footprint.
Best for versatility Green Johanna £119.99 (including winter jacket £159.99)
This takes all types of food waste and has room for a fair amount of garden waste too, with its 300L capacity. Scores high on eco credentials as it is made from 100% recycled plastic.
